Anarchy in the UK
Anarchy Online set for September 28th British release
Although Funcom's massively multiplayer role-playing game Anarchy Online has been available in the USA and Scandinavia for some time now, the rest of Europe has been playing a waiting game. Next month that wait will be over, as Koch Media have announced that their Virtuoso division is going to be distributing the game in the UK from September 28th. Elsewhere in Europe, Funcom has already revealed that the game will be published by HD Interactive (Benelux) and Bigben (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) amongst others.
It's been a long time coming, but given the problems surrounding the game's initial launch this is perhaps a good thing; by the time Anarchy Online is released in Europe the game should be running much more smoothly, and the Americans will have paid for the privelege of beta testing it for us. And there is more good news for players on this side of the pond, as a new server is being promised to improve support for European gamers. Hopefully with the benefit of experience and an extra couple of months of beta testing the European launch will go off without a hitch...
